ONE HUNDRED FIVE: Wait for Orders

The fact that Thane said there were pairs of them apparently stationed around Subterra.. was that supposed to be a secret? Is that why Lucy elbowed him?

Something about the way he'd referred to the guards gave Kel an uneasy feeling, however. He didn't just say 'pairs of shadow guards,' he specifically said, 'other pairs of shadow guards.'

Then did that mean..

"You.. and Lucy.." Kel hesitated, "you're also.."

"Shadow guards," the emperor finished for her, rolling his eyes at Thane. "Yes. They both are."

"How could you even doubt us?" Thane ginned, oblivious to the irritation of both his comrades at his announcement. "I'm the leader! And Lucy here, well, she's legendary!"

Lucy snorted and looked away, the tiniest pink tint once again kissing the tops of her cheeks. Thane's gaze followed her, and he immediately began questioning why she was giving him the cold shoulder when he was only trying to compliment her.
